With Jerry Reuss pitching the route for only the second time in 13 starts this season, the Dodgers defeated the Pirates, 5-1, to extend their winning streak to five games. Omar Moreno singled in the first inning, stole second and scored the Pirates' run on a double by Dave Parker. Dusty Baker hit a sacrifice fly and a homer to drive in three runs for the Dodgers, while Gary Thomasson accounted for their two other tallies with a single and homer. [The Sporting News]
